The new released Samsung Galaxy S Duos is one among other new affordable phones released by Samsung in the Philippines. New in the sense, that there isn't much screen protector and casings available for this particular model.
Together with Galaxy S Duos are the following in the same line of android phones:
- Galaxy Win
- Galaxy Core
- Galaxy Fame
- Galaxy Star
- Galaxy Pocket Neo
- Galaxy Young
I know other models are already old, wish Samsung named them different for their new releases. The Galaxy Young will have people confuse refering to the old with the last release.

After using the Galaxy S Duos for a couple of weeks, I have to say, it's a very good smart phone. The Galaxy S model name will not be tarnished by this particular model. The reasons why are as follows:
- Long battery life. (Compared to the S3 with same always on 3G internet. S Duos last longer.)
- All the android features of a high end Galaxy S (Software App wise) is available.
- Screen size is good.
- Build is good, especially the feel of the plastic on the back, it feels solid.
- Fast charge, compared to my galaxy S3. (You know what, I think S3 was over hyped)
- Does not heat up at the back when I browse the internet and use 3G (Mobile Internet). Unlike S3, which heats up after a few minutes of web browsing or heavy gameplay.

What is the weight and feel of the phone?
This smart phone is light-weight and solid built. You can feel it once you lift it. iPhone users will feel it's plastic built. But it's a good phone as far as I can tell using it for couple of weeks.

Sound
Sound is the same as most phone, there isn't much to talk about, it's the same as the rest of the phones. My only complaint is the Samsung Phones have their speakers at the back, which muffles the sound when you place it on a desk or on a seat.
It comes with an earphone jack, and an ear buds with microphone.
Camera
Camera is the same as the rest. Standard quality. Nothing to get wow about. It's an affordable phone, so the quality is a bit better than the lower ends.
Overall
The phone won't disappoint you much. If you only need to browse the internet, tethering the internet to a tablet, use as a spare phone. Then this is the phone for you if you have the budget. Price of the Phone is around Php8,000+.
